Aerial imagery of New Haven, Connecticut with the average land surface temperature (LST) for 2022 overlaid on top of the image. Areas of higher average temperature are shown in dark red, and areas of comparatively lower average temperature are shown in light pink. In this project, LST analysis is combined with an analysis of vegetative cover and socioeconomic characteristics to identify the neighborhoods most at-risk from heat-related impacts to prioritize for tree planting initiatives.
